I got OH to put up some shelves under the stairs for slow cookers (2), George Foreman Grill, Panini press, food processor, food steamer, etc to free up space in my kitchen cupboards for stockpiling. The overflow goes wherever I can find any space - big box of pasta (48 bags from Amazon) in spare bedroom, toilet rolls on a shelf in built-in wardrobe, washing tablets on shelf below, toiletries in plastic underbed boxes, tins on a shelf in the garage, birthday cards (from Clintons outlet) piled up in the sideboard. Oh and two freezers in the garage. (One filled with foraged fruit and berries picked in the summer months to make jam, chutney, pies and crumbles) OH keeps asking if I am anticipating a siege and thinks I have a big enough stockpile - and then I see another bargain!! It gets addictive!"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0

Garage. We have to go outside to get in as no integral door. We have an 18cuft freezer in there and a large larder fridge (got a fridge freezer in the house). Plus 4 wall cupboards and lots of shelving.
Inventory - ok so now that is funny cos I don't have a week to list it all but suffice to say that apart from milk and water we could survive a cosmic winter...............3 kids(DS1 6 Nov, DS2 8 Feb, DS3 24 Dec) a hubby and two cats - I love to save every penny I can!

Firstly please do not take extreme couponing as real. A lot of it is fakes for the cameras and most big chains in the US have stricter rules regarding coupon use than in the UK. Also a lot of these times they have hundreds of free item coupons they are fakes purchased en masse off eBay, for the sum of thousands of dollars. So the items people are getting are not only not free as they bought the coupons but buying the coupons often proves more costly than buying the item for the RRP. This has been brought to TLCs attention by various bodies representing manufacturers and TLC don't seem to care because it makes entertaining TV.
I do have quite a large stockpile. It includes over 300 nappies, 50+ loo roll, 24 cans of various Campbell's soups, about 11 hand soaps, 3x dettol no touch system, 30+ shampoos and conditioners of various types and sizes, about 10 toothpastes, 25+ washing up liquid, 5 or 6 years supply of washing powder/gel/liquid and 2-3 years worth of fabric conditioner, 2-3 years worth of misc cleaning products such as all purpose liquids and sprays, and various other miscellaneous items. All at least half price and in many cases, free. It is possible living in the UK! Using coupons and soecial offers I always save at least 50% off the normal price of a shop but I feel disappointed if its leas than 75% these days. There is a knack to it but its more than possible Xx0 -
